00:04Different kind of show today, Radio 2's back to school week
00:07and we are doing Kids as Co-host Day
00:10This hour, we welcome Emma
00:12Emma!
00:13Hi!
00:14How are you?
00:15Alright, now I've just got to check here, we've got JK, our co-host
00:18Does he sound worthy of winning those tickets, JK?
00:21Er, yeah
00:22Tell us your name please
00:24My name is Siddharth
00:25The reason, you know, Sparky and I are really good with the kids
00:28is because we like to keep things light and happy
00:30and, you know, we're professional
00:32I know that it's not normally, it doesn't sound very serious
00:36but in the studio, they hardly ever smile
00:39and they're always just like, typity, type, type, type
00:41I think we showed those kids a lot
00:43I mean, so much goes into being a radio presenter
00:46it's, I think it boggled our minds
00:48It's not very difficult
00:50You just press buttons
00:52Buttons
00:54Now you see that big green button there?
00:56Okay
00:57You need to press that
00:59like about now
01:01Okay
01:02Hit it
01:04The kids were all very good at doing the traffic reports
01:08Accident on E311, just after Dubai Sport City
01:12Accident on Sheikh Zayed Road before Jabsa exit
01:16heading to Dubai still causing delays
01:18If you want more traffic, follow us on Twitter at Radio 2 UAE
01:22I mean, they had me helping them, of course
01:25and I showed them how to rock a pair of headphones
01:28It was a bit strange actually, we had the kids in
01:30Rakesh gets a bit nervous, not the kids
01:32and he starts doing weird things with his headphones
01:34putting them on in a kind of, almost like
01:36I'm that blind fella off Star Trek, a bit like that
01:39Those kids definitely left thinking, I'm the cool DJ
01:43Don't think there's any doubt really
01:45JK liked working with me the best
01:47I preferred working with Rakesh
01:51Let's do a jump up and a jump down
01:53Go, go, go, go
01:54Get ready, go
01:55Jump, jump, jump
01:56Right, we're set
01:57Are you ready?
01:58That's better
01:59I mean, between me and you, some of those kids were a bit feisty
02:02but I think I handled it quite well
02:04How old are you, Sid?
02:05I'm nine and a half
02:06Nine and a half?
02:07Yes, I am
02:08Are you nearer ten or nearer nine?
02:10You have a problem with that?
02:14Tell you what, son, we've got security downstairs
02:16don't you worry about that
02:18I mean, come on, you can't be intimidated by a nine-year-old
02:22Just kids at the end of the day
02:23not like they're going to take our jobs or anything
02:25I would love to take their job
02:28I think Sparky was a bit flustered
02:31At some stage I saw him checking his phone
02:33maybe making some demos or something
02:36Just to be clear, the kids aren't here to take our jobs
02:39I mean, I have my demo with me at all times
02:41just ready to go, any station, any station will have me
02:44There's no way those kids could actually do our jobs
02:48I mean, they don't even have DJ names
02:52My name would probably be Anzac Kiwi
02:54My name would be DJ K
02:57If I was going to be a DJ I would call myself Lightning Bolt
